Fangula The Vampire



Fangula is no ordinary vampire, he is a new breed of vegetarian vampire who only suck the juice out of tomatoes. 
Although sunlight doesn't kill him, he dislikes it because he thinks sparkling in the daylight makes him look like Edward Cullen.
He goes to the hairdresser every week just to keep his hair close shaved and he likes buying his clothes from the costume shop

zOomiger



zOomiger is really a pussy cat.  He wears a tiger outfit and a fake tail so that he can pretend to be a tiger, but he is given away by his meow.  Wearing the tiger outfit didn't boost his self-esteem as he is still extremely shy and timid.  He has a fear of mice, when he sees one, his eyes bloat up like balloons.
